I see you thinking about it. You're thinking, "Lie And Wait sounds like some other band I've heard before." If you are thinking this, it's probably because they used to go by the moniker Look Out. I reviewed their EP back in 2006. At the time, I compared them to No Warning with a early 90s Mass Hardcore vibe. Somewhere along the way, they had a lineup change and apparently, according to their website, changed their sound up some.

To my ears, they now remind me of Guns Up more. Who remind me of No Warning, who remind me of a bunch of other bands, who finally remind me of Leeway. But this band is way more on the metal tip then any of those bands.

I had the opportunity to see this band at Welfare records a few weeks back. I didn't realize they were once called Look Out. Doh. At the show, they had both cd and vinyl. I guess the CDs were down by Thrashed Records, while Triple B took care of the vinyl. And when I say take care of vinyl, I mean, they killed it. Look at this vinyl, so amazing.



Those are one sided LPs with hand screened images on the b-side. The real limited white vinyl has snowflakes and says "winter tour 2008." The other vinyl has an ill gothic image. When I was trying to remember what it looked like, all I could imagine was an epic war between angels and devils, where good was represented by Transformers and bad was represented by midget porn actors. Obviously, my memory was way off. I'm probably just confusing it with a Lion Of Judah concept album. I don't recall if the swirl vinyl was one sided or not.

Pechblende is a little thrash number from Quebec, Quebec, Canada. This album could have been a nice follow up to Dive or Bound (Mass). It's pretty ill. Plenty of hardcore vibe, a little thrash, lots of guitar mashing.

Apparently they play a lot in the area, and I have just never seen them. I see they have played Welfare Records with Dropdead. Oooffff, probably was a great show. I missed out. What was I doing that day? Probably nothing. Doh.

Next time, next time. Maybe for the next Dive reunion? Who knows. Hopefully that one isn't planned on a Patriots playoff game day this time.

I don't know what to say about Eyes Set To Kill. They have this beautiful sounding female lead vocalist who lulls you with her voice. And then smashing through it is this terrible, screamy, yelly atreyu voice. BLAHT BLAHT BLEEEEEAAAAAARRGH. Ugh, what a stinker. Pretty much ruins any chance of me ever liking this band. Of course, my scene isn't the skinny pant Hot Topic scene. I can see this band playing the downstairs of the Palladium and killing it. According to their press release, they are the rebirthed phoenix, here to save the newly dead scene. Piggity pass. I'd rather listen to the worst Youth Of Today rip off than this band.

Fuck, I listened to it again, and I freaking love the girls singing. It's a very Velocity Girl like sound. But then BLAHT, the dude comes in and ruins everything. What a terrible shame. Otherwise, this band would have potential. Probably not in the metal hardcore scene, but I could see a nice indie rock project coming from the ashes of this stinker.

Holy shit, Final Verdict is carrying the torch of mid 90s hardcore. If you miss Groundzero, Holdstrong and 25 Ta Life (wait, you can't miss them, they are still playing shows), then Final Verdict is for you. This band may as well have stepped out of a time machine from 13-15 years ago. I didn't know that torch still needed carrying, but these guys are holding it high. I'm not sure if you can kickbox to this band, but you sure could try. If you are ever looking for some heavy mosh in Victoria, British Columbia, just look these dudes up.

One funny note: Austin, the guy who sent me the cd and the vocalist for Final Verdict, must know my review style. In his note to me, he apologized up front for spelling "hyperbole" wrong. Nice!

I once gave Austin a handjob after one of their shows because they were so hardcore I nearly wet myself.
